If you don't care about Japanese games, the gap is actually quite small, or even non existent. Also, he's aware Sony has canceled games and/or closed down studios, yes? This "MS canceled Scalebound so they must be shit to work with!" narrative is funny.

I'm fine with the games as a service direction MS going, because I enjoy online gaming and enjoy doing it on the best network. MS is never going to match what Sony does in volume of games, they've never even tried to.

Still even without the Japanese games you have: The Last of Us 2, Horizon, God of War 4, Spiderman,  Detroit, Days Gone, Dreams. Then you have the Japanese games that appeal to Westerners: Gran Turimo Sport and Death Stranding just to name a couple. 

 

All those titles aside from Dreams are system sellers. I think the gap is bigger than you think. 

 

6 of them are new IPs which is becoming more rare these days especially for first party. All are AAA aside from Dreams. 

Please do not lump GT into the Japanese game category just because PD is based in Japan, LOL. It is a racing game. There is no Japanese flair or gameplay elements typical in Japanese games. We'll see on Death Stranding, too. Kojima games have been more and more westernized over time. And are you saying Spiderman is a new IP? Maybe my math is off.

Either way, that's a nice list. Off that list, I can guarantee I will own at least two, possibly four of those titles. I could make a similar list for upcoming Xbone games but there's no point.
